As we know, every year the President of the United States will give an address to congress on the state of the nation.  I am interested in hearing what you believe the state of our union is.  You can touch on any or all topics pertinant to politics, but refrain from attacking anyone personally.

    As for the state of our education systems, I just read this...

    42% of American adults can't locate Japan on the world map.

    15% can't find the United States.

    70 million don't know we fought Germany in WWII.

    50% of American students don't know the Cold War ever happened.

    60% of American students don't know how the United States came into exisence.

    And 41% of American teens can name the 3 branches of goverment, but 59% can name the 3 Stooges.

     

    All statistics from "Serious Times by James Emery White pg 97"

    Our country is going somewhere in a hand-basket...  Why?

    - Killing of unborn children

    - Decline of morality

    - Political correctness

    - Communism

    - And above all, a lack of respect for law and a general disregard for truth.

    We have more tax-eaters than we can carry.
